The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
That's stupid and not the way Primordials work. The only way to keep charms after Fetich Death is for someone else to know them.
(For the purposes of this, charms adapated by other Primordials don't count, because when a Primordial learns someone else's carm it becomes their charm.)

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
No see the not unlearning thing is for stuff like Triumphant Howl and that tree. You lose Cosmic Principle when you suffer Fetich Death, it's just replaced with a different Cosmic Principle.
@Yuki: That's only GSPs not just anyone. And that line is a little unclear. For instance it could just mean that Green Sun Princes keep their Charms but the Yozis themselves get a whole new set of equivalent or greater power.Avatar by Elagune

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
If Fetich Death didn't cause Adrian to unlearn Adrian Cosmic Principle she would not be Adorjan. She'd still be Adrian.
Therefore, Fetich Death makes you unlearn charms that say you can't unlearn them.
Also yeah I guess it is specific to GSPs.
Edit: I guess another way of looking at it is that you keep all the transcendence charms - their names and specific-to-a-certain-Yozi text just change.
Because without (foo) Pantheon Unfurling you wouldn't be able to make your new fetich.
But basically you still lose all the specific-to-you parts of those charms. Which would include Gremlin Syndrome, if that's part of Autochthon Cosmic Principle or Autothchon Worldshaper Assumption or whatever.
Edit2: On reading through the Yozi transcendence charms again, they keep making mention of experience points. This makes me wonder what a Primordial's experience point chart looks like.
Obviously, they can't buy Attributes, Abilities or Combos, but what about everything else?
Edit3: I enjoy Ebby's Limit Break. It specifically mentions stealing a child's toy. He is so... petty.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
I meant an extension of that concept, not that particular effect. If a charm says that it changes in such and such a way upon the titan's fetich death, then that's how it would change upon the titan's fetich death, because that specific rule overwrites the general rule.
Also, not canon. Also also, your Creation may vary.The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
I thought that by "The Fonz is a mechanic," you meant a game mechanic. And I was trying to figure out if there was an "Eyyyyy!" Charm, or you felt that social combat encouraged Fonz-like behavior, or what.
I do not feel intelligent right now.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
Gremlin Syndrome might involve infecting the victims with the charm or charms that constitute it - which would mean the charms survive fetich death.
Edit: To preempt "But only Exalts have access to that kind of shenanigans," I'd note that Autochthon has the secrets of Exaltation built into his structure. If any Primordial can pull off Exalt shenanigans, it's that.
It'd be particularly interesting if one of Autochthon's Exalt-related charms is also one of his Gremlin Syndrome charms. It provides an interesting possibility for the Great Curse - that the Neverborn activated it by exploiting his sickness. Also, that the Yozis were afraid of trying to work with the Exaltations in any way during the war because they could sense that disease upon them.Last edited by Indon; 2011-04-28 at 11:49 PM.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
It's GSPs specifically not just Exalts because Exalted Akuma don't preserve the Charms. Though I do like the idea of the Exalt Charms being tied in with his sickness. Anyway there is some evidence that Gremlins do have some Autochthons Charms. Namely Void Lords can get thematically warped Sorcery and Necromancy. Sounds like Sorcerous Initiation of Autochthon to me. Which means that there are in fact at least three living Primordials that can access Necromancy, still Autobot seem like a fitting addition to that particular club. Especially if it's drawback is that it's tied in with his sickness Charms.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
Sorry, tooting my own horn and all, but I have not designed some martial arts, which are over here.
The first few are existing martial arts (well, they're not, but they are) at Celestial and Sidereal level, and the last one is new, but it's also not a martial art - any opinion on what tier it is, or what the not-charms past the not-form should be?

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
Okay, people, I need help: I've budgeted for a 3-dot artifact spear/halberd of some kind. The Dire Lance's core stats are okay, but that's still only a 2-dot (and not as powerful as the 1-dot Short Daiklaives that everyone else in the party seems to have, anyway). Are there any cool ideas that any of you might have for such a thing? It's been days, and all I've been able to do is despair over the lack of love spears and halberds get in the books, despite being the #1 weapon in Creation.
(this is cross-posted in my actual party's recruitment thread, to maximize my chances of getting halp)

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
Michael Goodwin, aka Nephipal, has said this on the White Wolf forums a few times. Now, he's not the developer, so the existence of such Charms isn't actually canonical, but he is one of the line's main writers, and his opinions on things like that usually turn out to be true if they're ever addressed.
And yeah, he said that Autochthon's cancer is threaded through his Charm trees and have a special effect on them that prevents them from being removed by anything, including fetich death. Killing Autochthon would actually just create a new, even more cancerous Primordial, as it developed new cancer-Charms that were then unremovable.If you like my thoughts, you'll love my writing.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
So we need some Essence 10 Medicine Charms then, possibly done by both Solar and Abyssal at the same time, to split it out.

Which defeats the point of 'with enough epicness, yes you can fix the setting.'

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
There is simple solution to Autobot's Charm-caused cancer.
Make Akuma, teach it Autochton's all non-cancer charms ... and viola we have healthy Autobot !
And Yeah, I dislike the notion of things being irreversible COMPLETELY. It's cool in WoD, where stuff like Exaltations or Sorcery doesn't exist. But in Exalted You could DO stuff. Tragedies occuring regardless of Your actions aren't interesting in the least. Tragedies should occur BECAUSE of your actions.Youth and strenght alvays lose to age and treachery.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
PPE can only be used with the Yozi, due to the Great Curse.
You'd have to redeem an Abyssal just to learn PPE for Autobot. Now there's an epic quest.

Re: General Exalted Discussion IV: Roll Join Debate
While that's true, there is a middle ground between "totally impossible" and "lolFetichdeath".
I feel like if it were that easy, Malfeas would have taken a whack at Autochthon at some point. His cancer seriously creeps the other Primordials out, after all.
Maybe reversing Autochthon's cancer actually requires you to turn him into a Neverborn, and then resurrect him, leaving his disease behind. Hell, maybe Autochthon's cancer is actually the key to reviving the Neverborn, because it will stay alive even after he dies and inject life into the Dead.
Something like fixing Autochthon's disease forever should be epic enough that it's not a simple matter of solving everything with a couple of Medicine Charms or a stabbing.If you like my thoughts, you'll love my writing. Visit me at www.mishahandman.com.
